I'm not exactly waiting with baited breath, but am very interested to check out some upcoming products.

Robotech - I liked it as a teenager a long time ago, it will be interesting to see if Paladium can make it interesting for me nowadays.

Dresden Files - Huge fan of the source material, but for all it's strong points, FATE doesn't handle campaign play very well, which is exactly what I'd like to do with a Dresden Files game.

T5. Rikki-Tikki Traveller - I want to like this game, I really do. Based on the last version of Traveller, T4, I'm not getting my hopes up too much though. The OGL part of it could be a nice way to get other publishers on board.

D&D 4E - I've yet to be disappointed with a new version of D&D.

Robotech: I'll be interested to see what Kev can do with this old warhorse. I hope it will be chock full of new and awesome. But and afraid it will be same old, same old. With a new font.

Dresden Files: Much like GoOrange I really like the source material. But FATE would not be my system of choice for this. (Or much of anything else really. IMHO.)

D&D 4ed: Its fucking D&D. I gotta check it out. :)

GUMSHOE system games: It looks interesting. I would like to learn more about it. Especially before a purchase.

Septimus: I'm interested to check out Bill's new work.

Quote from: peteramthorI'm in Grubmans shoes.  There is nothing that I am waiting for and I've always been waiting for.  The things that I would be waiting for I'm not really excited about anymore.

Me too. I think we're bringing down the industry with our attitude.

Quote from: Pete...and GUMSHOE Cthulhu are what I'm not very patiently waiting for.
They're still going ahead with that?  When Esoterrorists faded quickly and quietly into the background, I had been of the impression that any further "Gumshoe" games were on hold.
Quote from: Christmas Ape...the revised and last-I-heard more generic Heroquest...
Yep, supposedly all references to Glorantha will be extracted and moved to the flagship "Quest Worlds" book on the topic.

!i!

Anemone

Swashbucklers of the Seven Skies, the new swashbuckling game from Atomic Sock Monkey Press; and Jaws of the Six Serpents, the big fantasy game from Silver Branch Games (Conan/Elric-style).  Also HeroWorlds and the generic HeroQuest.  

I'll second the GURPS sourcebooks for Girl Genius and the Vorkosigan saga.  I don't play GURPS, but I'd still llike the sourcebooks.  I'm also crossing my fingers about WEG's Septimus.

Quote from: AnemoneAlso HeroWorlds...
Is that what they're calling the book of five different "Quest Worlds" now?  I was just thinking yesterday how I've been looking forward to Bruce Ferrie's superhero rules for HeroQuest, which, last I heard, was still on-line for the five-setting book.

!i!

obryn

D&D4.

I'm keen on checking out Dresden Files, but IME the FATE system reads a lot better than it actually plays...  I'm excited since those are some of my favorite books, but I have no idea how they'll pull it off.

I'm curious about the D&D 3.5 Rules Compendium.  I'll definitely check that one out.

I'm also eagerly awaiting more SW: Saga material.

Quote from: Ian AbsentiaThey're still going ahead with that?  When Esoterrorists faded quickly and quietly into the background, I had been of the impression that any further "Gumshoe" games were on hold.

Quite the contrary!  There's been two GUMSHOE releases since Esoterrorists:  Fear Itself and an update to The Book of Unremitting Horror.  The former being a regular person level game to Esoterrorists X-Files-alike; and the latter being a creature collection.

Trail of Cthulhu and Mutant City Blues are next on the release schedule, so it doesn't look like GUMSHOE is going anywhere anytime soon.

G'uh...!  Totally flew under my radar.  Well, hooray for Ken and Robin.

Mongoose Traveller, which I'll probably buy.

T5, which I probably won't buy if it is like the playtest.

D&D 4e, just to see what the hype is about and if fears are realized, doubt I'll buy it unless they put it out as one book.
